'It is not what you look at that matters. It's what you see.' – Henry David Thoreau
A spring thaw in the early nineteen-hundreds saw several Fort Vermilion area farms flooded. In one instance a farm building washed out, the movement of the water weakening its foundation enough to topple the structure. Timber for that building floated downstream on the Boyer River becoming snagged at a turn in the river as it passed the St. Louis Catholic Mission in Buttertown. Those timbers were pulled from the river and after a time were used to build this storehouse for the mission. The photo was created in May, 2013. Last Saturday night, the image became editing focal point as I showed my son how Lightroom 5 and NiK Software can be used – four versions were produced, some following his eye’s lead.
Listening to – Coldplay’s ‘Yellow,’ a song I worked through after all had gone to bed last night; the piano work is more difficult than the fretwork; the resonance and dissonance found in the chords and alternate tuning are captivating.
Quote to Consider – “Photographs, which cannot themselves explain anything, are inexhaustible invitations to deduction, speculation, and fantasy.” – Susan Sontag, ‘On Photography’

'Why be reliant upon secular media sources, literary works penned by atheists, and embittered hearsay to inform your views on religiosity, or worse still to bring about the lack thereof, isn't that as sensible as asking directions to KFC from Ronald McDonald?' ―T. C. M

I like the texture of the shingles at the edge, I’d like to see more of that, The close distortion of perspective brings a lot here too.

Hey there, Jim:
Shingles, textures at the edge – taking image interest to the edge from focal point and plane of focus, releasing the shutter all the way to edits; I’m with you. I remember a moment when my daughter, experiencing growing pains at age 2 or 3 let my wife, my son and I know that her ‘edges’ (sides) hurt. Close distortion occurs with the Sigma 10-20 mm lens and adds to imperfect lines and sense of being within what is viewed.
Cool.
You are amazing! I’m following…~amy
Good schtuff, Amy!
Thanks for following ….;)
Wow! These are terrific-I love how the timber and shingles are articulated in the images and the colors-especially the bluish tints really suggest cold, forgotten memories-
Hey there …
Thank you for seeing more of what these images hold. 😉
